Configuring Access Points
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
The test-runner tool makes use of the hostapd service to emulate the access
|
||||
points (AP). The hostapd service comes preinstalled on most Linux
|
||||
distributions.
|
||||
points (AP). Despite the fact that hostapd service comes preinstalled on most
|
||||
Linux distributions, test-runner uses some of the recently introduced features,
|
||||
which may only be available from the master tree of the hostapd repository:
|
||||
|
||||
git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git
|
||||
|
||||
OR (its HTTP version)
|
||||
|
||||
http://w1.fi/hostap.git
|
||||
|
||||
commit id: 31d3692fe5d56c05753ed4a70c7943979e1d29e7 or above is required.
|
||||
|
||||
The sequence of commands to clone, build and install hostapd may look as
|
||||
follows:
|
||||
|
||||
$ git clone git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd hostap/hostapd
|
||||
|
||||
$ cp defconfig .config
|
||||
|
||||
$ vi .config
|
||||
|
||||
Find the following line:
|
||||
|
||||
#CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y
|
||||
|
||||
and uncomment it by removing the '#' sign.
|
||||
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If 'make install' fails with the netlink warnings you may need to
|
||||
install libnl-1.0pre8 (or later).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: It is recommended to override the pre-installed version of hostapd with
|
||||
the newly built one to avoid any confusion. The simplest way to make sure
|
||||
that the correct version of hostapd is used is to execute the following
|
||||
command:
|
||||
|
||||
$ hostapd -h
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that '-i' option is available in the list of option.
